System Restore

[redvette]

Hi Gang

Having trouble getting my system restore to work.

I get this message which is all Greek to me.



Can any one understand this, I sure can't I have never seen this type of message before. What is "group policy" and what is my "domain admisintrator" I think that means me and I am signed in as the administrator.
This is happening with my XP home.

Thanx....Gunny

Sorry EZY

I had it in there, ok here it is.

"System restore has been tuned off by group policy, to turn on system restore contact your domain administrator"

Thanx....Gunny

I googled: System restore has been tuned off by group policy

Hi Ezy

That did the trick all right. I seen that item that I had to delete before when I was doing other things in the registry, and thought I better not do anything with out knowledge of what I was doing. But going by your tip it was ok to delete it and that was what was causing my problem. How that wound up in there in the first place baffles me. Now I have my system restore back.

Much thanx that was simple and quick. I take back saying the replies here on PCmech are so slow, or not at all.

Thanx and take care.......Gunny
